With summer around the corner, there's nothing better than a cold glass of lemonade or iced tea—until you read the nutrition label. Many bottled lemonades have about 100 calories per cup—and who can stop at just one cup on a hot day?
Even recipes for homemade lemonade often call for two cups of sugar for a two-quart pitcher, and iced teas are much the same. Luckily, there are a few easy ways to cool off without loading up on calories.
1. Reduce the sugar in your homemade drinks by adding only a teaspoon per eight-ounce glass.
2. Opt for a nonsugar, zero-calorie sweetener instead.
3. Try making your iced tea unsweetened, particularly if you use a flavored tea that gives some natural sweetness, like peach or mint. Experiment to see which flavors you like best—without adding sugar!
